Zeheng Wang

Dr. Zeheng Wang is a CERC Fellow at CSIRO, specializing in quantum artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence for science (AI4Science), and semiconductor devices. With a PhD in Si quantum computing devices from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), he has published over 50 papers in top-tier venues including Nature, Advanced Materials (cover article), and IEEE transactions, establishing himself as a leading researcher in quantum-semiconductor integration.

Education:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, University of New South Wales (UNSW), 2022

Research Interests: Dr. Wang's work bridges quantum computing and machine learning, focusing on quantum kernel methods for NISQ devices and AI4Science applications in materials discovery, electronic design, and clinical medicine. His semiconductor research leverages ML for fabrication optimization and device modeling, while his medical AI work develops deep learning frameworks for traditional Chinese medicine safety and pancreatic cancer prognosis. This interdisciplinary approach targets real-world problems from quantum chemistry to clinical decision support.

Publication Trends: Recent publications reveal three dominant trajectories: (1) Quantum AI for semiconductor fabrication using kernel methods on small datasets, (2) Energy-efficient chemiresistive sensor arrays with ensemble learning, and (3) Clinical AI applications for TCM side-effect prediction and cancer survival analysis. His work consistently integrates quantum principles with practical engineering constraints, evidenced by multiple cover articles in advanced materials journals.

Scientific Awards:

• CERC Fellowship (Impossible Without You campaign)
• Outstanding Reviewer Award (IOP Publishing, 2022)
• Experience Program Scholarship (Sydney Quantum Academy, 2019-2022)
• Tuition Fee + Stipend Scholarship (UNSW, 2019-2022)
• Top-up Scholarship (UNSW, 2019-2022)

Grants and Editorial Roles: Currently holding the IWY Fellowship (2022-2025) for quantum AI and CAPEX funding (2023-2026) for high-performance computing infrastructure, Dr. Wang serves as Academic Editor for PLOS ONE, Guest Editor for Micromachines, and Advisory Board Member for Materials. His open-source semiconductor fabrication service has been adopted by 300+ researchers globally, demonstrating significant community impact beyond traditional academic metrics.

Laboratory and Collaborations: While institutional lab details aren't explicitly stated, his Nature co-authorship with J.-K. Huang indicates active collaboration with UNSW's quantum materials groups. His research bridges CSIRO's national facilities with clinical partners for medical AI validation, and industry connections through semiconductor fabrication patents. The Impossible Without You campaign affiliation suggests strategic positioning within Australia's national quantum initiative.
